Gay Dance! [Donezo]

[chennisden]

if u cant articulate it, i turn it completely around

I can articulate it!

Leave the dance.

that was a bit too late bucko.

Quick strategy talk:

No one should leave the dance, we should essentially play this game like a standard game of mafia voting on people to lynch them. Also, no one should vote inside their pair until MYLO.

The reason is if you play this like how the previous dance games I've been in have gone and just have people leaving the dance to kill their partner you miss out on all the information you get from pushing lynches through like in a normal game like votes, reactions, who attacks who for what reasons and who defends who and etc. I'm gonna pull a quick anecdote: the last dance game I was in had me and Kagami, me in a T/T pair and him in a T/S pair, and we tried to play it that way trying to figure out autowin plans ruling people out based on associative tells. At the end of the day we had a correct autowin plan down but 1) no one else went along with it, and then 2) Kagami and I both got paranoid his and my partners were town and scum respectively, I wound up leaving and everything just got fucked.

Tl;dr leaving the dance is basically a giant trap and we shouldn't do it.

Speaking of leaving the dance, anyone remember this post?

no u

[chennisden]

i didnt have to mislynch any of u suckers

[pienyan]

Literally the first thing I did this game. I just didn't have the sway or the conviction to actually make sure no one left...

[Sakura Hana]

I think I prefer the normal dance game.

[chennisden]

this setup is actually hilariously townsided

this has been the first scum win in what a year? (granted this was the gay version.) and it's been run 4 times or smth. 5 times counting this? like i had to get everyone to wanna leave and i was flipflopping to annoy fb on purpose.

mission accomplished

[chennisden]

tbf if bingle was my scumpartner instead of croag the game might've felt a lot easier

[chennisden]

hi rc

[Firebringer]

next time we dance

[Kirari Momobami]

Merchant's Dance was also a scum win

[Blake Belladonna]

Merchants daughter was a scum win, Chennis.

[chennisden]

different setup sorta

[RadiantCowbells]

MD was a scum win in spite of 3/4 of my top scumreads being scum, amusingly.

my pairing got nightkilled and my top townread pair got lynched.

[OkaPoka]

Gamma pair with me next game please

[chennisden]

i probably won't be doing dance games anymore until the IC gets removed at least

[RadiantCowbells]

and we also didn't leave gamma out like I wanted.

basically that's what happens when the pairings suck and people play super disorganized in this setup, town loses.

it's only townsided if town plays to win.

[chennisden]

the IC isn't actually that townsided. it's just annoying to deal with. it's an obvious shot for scum but it's really annoying for us too.

[Firebringer]

go away rc

historically dance games are scumsided. EV isn't a good way to think about setups like this.

go away rc[/quote

ok
